A Practical Guide to Missing Persons and the Administration of Estates, co-authored by James Fuller and Ollie Murrell, will be published by Law Brief Publishing in January 2026.
The law and procedure relating to the estate and affairs of a missing person is complex, and the subject matter is tragic.
The long-awaited A Practical Guide to Missing Persons and the Administration of Estates has been written to provide a comprehensive and user-friendly guide for anyone who finds themselves dealing with the estate of a missing person or involving a missing person. The book takes the reader through the relevant legal principles using clear and simple language, including all the latest developments and case law. It provides a step-by-step guide through the applications required, as well as the practical steps to take before and after making an application.
The book features a foreword by His Honour Judge Paul Matthews.

Guildhall Chambers are delighted to announce that a book launch will be arranged to coincide with the publication date of A Practical Guide to Missing Persons and the Administration of Estates.
Further details will follow in the coming weeks.
